Four concentration camps exclusively for Jews have been established in Bulgaria, it was reported today by DNB, the official German news agency. “Jews from all parts of Bulgaria who are suspect and who spread rumors are to be put in these camps,” the Nazi report said.
At the same time, DNB reported an intensified campaign against the Jews in Bulgaria. The police raided “certain quarters” in Sofia yesterday and arrested “Jewish saboteurs,” it disclosed. Meanwhile, Peter Graovsky, Bulgarian Minister of the Interior, announced in Sofia that “sharper” action will be taken against the Jews in the future and that the “worst Jews” will be sent to ghettos in Poland. The new drive against the Bulgarian Jews follows the renewed wave of anti-Jewish propaganda by the Nazi press and radio as a result of the military reverses in Russia.
